shwann cells
What is node of ranvier ?
the gap between two adjacent mylein sheath is called node of ranvier
What is a myelinated neuron ?
when the shwann cells forms a mylein sheath around the neuron is called mylinated neuron
When is a neurn non myelinated ?
when the shwann cells do not form a myelien sheath around a neuron is called neuron
Where is mylinated fibres usually found?
spinal and cranial nerves

here we start the MEDI FLIX PART
/////////////////////////////////
What is the meaning of coordination?
THE PROCESS THROUGH WHICH TWO OR MORE ORGANS INTERACTS WITH EACH OTHER IS CALLED COORDINATION
What porvides chemical coordination to the body?
